AUer that, she turns around and
drives through the campus area,
trailer courts and Sunnyside.
And the next night she drives in
circles and circles and circles. When
she's done with that, she drives in
more circles, helping keep the com
munity safe.
Crime rate mostly steady
Crime happens - on the reserva
tion and off.
While crime rates have soared in
areas around the country, they are
holding mostly steady or rising just
slightly on the reservation.
Over the last couple of years,
regular assault, abduction, elder
abuse, reckless driving and hit and
run are all about the same, Assault
and battery, harassment, crimes
against children, drunk driving and
attempting to elude a police officer
are on the gain.

Horse sale:
animals are
sure-footed
(Continued from page 1)
These horses have been running on
reservation rocks all their life, so their
hooves are hard and rarely need trim
ming. And they have a reputation for
being able to live on very little feed. In
the horse business, it's called an easy
keeper.
Another trait is their surefootedness.
According to Smith, these horses are
so used climbing steep slopes and drop
ping into canyons that they're almost
like mountain goats and sheep.
A horse with a strong sense of bal
ance in all situations is a positive thing
for the rider.
Perhaps their strongest trait is their
intelligence.
"When they're out on their own,
fending for themselves, only the strong
survive. The weak ones get culled out,"
says Smith. "The horses that don't know
how to carry themselves get culled out,
and the smart ones figure out how to
adapt and overcome."
The Range and Ag Department is
expecting spring and yearling colts with
some 2-year-olds for the folks inter
ested in starting with a young horse.
There will also be an ample supply of
older mares and geldings. About two
hundred horses are expected.
"We're going to have horses of ev
ery age, every color, every size and
every shape," says Smith.
Some will be halter broke and a few
will be saddle horses. The majority will
be range-bred horses that haven't been
touched by human hands.
The sale will be auction style with
no minimum bid. Owners will have no
sale option. A flyer on the upcoming
sale includes the following information
on the horses that will be sold on Oc
tober 11:
"These horses have been raised on
the reservation and trace back through
out the history and to beginning of the
Indian time. Most of the horses pre
sented at this sale have been raised in
the wild and have all the wonderful at
tributes of a wild horse."
For information on the sale call
Smith at 553-2001; or Jeanne Capps
at (541) 328-6311.
The sale is sponsored in part by the
Oregon State University I ntension Ser
vice Warm Springs office, in coopera
tion with Western Sustainable Agricul
ture Research and Education.
